Mumbai, Sept 5 (IBNS): Even as her fight with cancer continues, actress Sonali Bendre continues to remain positive.

After being diagnosed with  high-grade cancer, which had mestasised, the actress had to shave off her hair as a part of the treatment.

Yet she has always manages to connect with her fans through photographs on social media and leaves no opportunity to "switch on the sunshine."

Now she has tried a new wig, pictures of which she shared on Instagram.

In a post, she wrote: "Well, it might not be my all-time favourite sin (that would be gluttony 😋), but who doesn't like looking good? The way we look has a profound psychological impact on us... A little vanity here and there does no one any harm. It's important to do what makes you happy, even if it's something as simple as wearing a wig, bright red lipstick, high heels.... "

"All that white noise doesn't make a difference in the larger picture. No one can tell you what's right or wrong for you. When I was testing out the wigs, I had a brief moment of self-doubt... "Am I vain for wanting to look good?" As part of the entertainment industry, you're always expected to look good... Maybe that has been ingrained in me? But then I gave it a thought and I realized I like looking good for me. If I'm in the mood to wear a scarf, I will. If I want to walk around bald and free, I will. Only you know what would make you feel good, and what works best for you," she said

She also thanked actress Priyanka Chopra for providing the contact for her new look.

"So take every opportunity you can to #SwitchOnTheSunshine. #OneDayAtATime 🙏🌞 Thank you @priyankachopra for connecting me with the amazing @bokheehair, who created my new look," she wrote.
